As we continue restoring and developing our historic garden, SLCCHC would like to offer you an opportunity to showcase your commitment to our heritage by purchasing a brick engraving in the Silas Wright House Memorial Walkway.

Your purchased brick will have words chosen by you engraved directly onto the newly installed brick pathway in the historic garden. This engraving opportunity is a wonderful way to commemorate special milestones and remember loved ones.

The second batch of engravings for the memorial walkway is planned for Fall 2025.
